AGELESS GURU

The book is an attempt to chronicle in lucid language the life of a great modern sage. Swami Chinmayananda's life was indeed a saga of extraordinary spiritual strength, love, tireless service and metaphysical reach. When he began the mission the world's oldest scriptures were taught only in exclusive pockets, shrouded in orthodoxy. Swami Chinmayananda interpreted and opened up this perennial philosophy for millions of people. His was a life which in less than fifty years left behind the legacy of a global organisation, hundreds of institutions and millions of followers devoted to a single aim, the perpetuity of nobility in Man.

JOURNEY OF A MASTER

For over forty years Swami Chinmayananda was one of the leading interpreters and teachers of the Hindu philosophical system of Advaita Vedanta, which establishes with exact logic the identity of the self (Atman) with the infinite (Brahman). Through a variety of institutions and methods particularly the jñāna yajñas, rituals of truth, he worked to rejuvenate Hinduism by making hitherto inaccessible insights of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad - gita available to masses. Thereby, he was instrumental in bringing the wisdom of the Hindu heritage to everyone, regardless of caste, creed, gender, religion or nationality. This is the first biography of Swami Chinmayananda and retraces his journey from his childhood in Kerala, through his carefree college days and rebellion against British imperialism, then his spiritual tutelage under Swami Shivananda and Swami Tapovanam. An account is given detailing the growth of a worldwide movement under his guidance. Included are conversations with him on different subjects that demonstrate his sharp intellect, deep wisdom and quick wit. He is undoubtedly one of the outstanding and influential figures in the modern history of India.

At Every Breath, A Teaching

“His life itself is a scripture…” Swami Chinmayananda, during his 42 years of teaching, came to be known as one of the most respected teachers of the ancient spiritual science called Vedanta. Swamiji expounded that teaching from lecture platforms around the globe, unfolding, verse by verse, the meaning of the major Upanishads, the Bhagavad-gita, and other texts of Vedanta. However, his teaching did not stop when he stepped of the lecture platform. In fact, his entire life was a teaching. He taught at every breath. The words he spoke during simple daily transactions or in response to a question served as powerful lessons toward a deeper understanding of self and the world. Even a simple...

Dharma

Dharma is the very essence and substratum which upholds, nourishes, sustains and integrates the universe. Sweetness is the dharma of sugar, sweet-less sugar is a myth. Values uphold one’s character, nourish one’s life, sustain joy, give meaning to life and integrate society. Hence values are called Dharma. At a deeper level the Lord Himself is called Dharma, for He is the very essence of the world of names and forms and the One who sustains and nourishes it. The scriptures related to Dharma are called Dharma Shastra. In the language of management, Dharma Shastra are the “Science of Desire Management.” They help us manage our desires and ultimately sublimate them by giving us a dina charya (daily plan) and a jivan charya (life plan). The right understanding of the words ‘Hindy’, ‘philosophy’, ‘religion’, ‘religious sect’ (sampradaya) and ‘secular rule’ (dharma raja), would faster more harmony amongst mankind. In their own unique styles the great master Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, Guruji Swami Tejomayananda and Swamini Vimalananda have simplified the above mentioned aspects of dharma.

Not Too Loose, Not Too Tight

THE GOLDEN MEAN After a life in the lap of royal luxury, the day of reckoning arrived. Prince Siddhartha, left his home, his family and the security of his palace to become an ascetic in the forest. He hardly are or slept. One day he fell into a partial swoon. In that semi-conscious state, he heard an interesting conversation. A novice was asking his teacher, "Master, how am I to tune my vīṇā (and Indian musical instrument, here symbolising the human personality)?" The teacher replied, "Son, tune not the vīṇā too tight - the strings would break. And don't string them too loose, for then they would not create music". With this new insight, Siddhartha rose, revived himself with a meal and sat refreshed under the bodhi tree to meditate with new resolve. And thus the Buddha was born. This 'Golden Mean', which has since become one of the pillars of the Buddhist way of life, had made all the difference. 'NOT TOO LOOSE, NOT TOO TIGHT, JUST RIGHT' This is what this pocket book is all about! It teaches you to strike the right balance in life and often it makes all the difference between a life of mediocrity and one of success.
